Ten thousand people think gloom is reborn

Lin Chongtan looked at me when he heard the words, and kept silent for a long time, which made me inexplicably feel that I was the prey he was targeting, but when I looked closely at his expression, it seemed to be just an illusion.

"Why don't you talk?" It's probably because I have a guilty conscience. I have no confidence in talking to him this time. Who told me to take the initiative to pick him up early.

If you can't do what you should do, you will always feel guilty.

Lin Chongtan didn't answer my question first, but took my hand again.

After warming his hands, he wrapped them around mine, and then slowly said: "I have been wondering whether you will come to see me these few days. I asked Lou Chuan, and they couldn't answer anything. If you don't come to see me I, I seem to have no choice but to continue to wait."

The more he said it, the more guilty I felt.

It's because I didn't do well, and I can't get out of the palace by myself, so I should call someone to deliver the news.

I sincerely apologized to Lin Chongtan, "I won't do this next time."

He looked faintly, "Last time you said to pick me up as soon as possible, are you here to pick me up today?"

no……

I just confessed to the emperor and Concubine Zhuang that I like men, and I can't take Lin Chongtan back at this moment.

In order to get Lin Chongtan to forgive me, I had to use the coquettish tricks I used to do a few years ago, but I am not a teenager now, and I can't act like a coquettish child at all.As soon as I hugged Lin Chongtan's waist, my own face was scalded, let alone the following words.

I hugged him for a long time, and for a long time I only called out the word Tan Sheng, and I faltered and hawed the rest of the words, but I couldn't say a word clearly.

Lin Chongtan let me hug me until I couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere. When I let go, he pinched my chin instead, and gently stroked that piece of skin with his fingertips, "Xiaodi wants to act coquettishly, this one Is that how things go?"

I faintly felt that the skin on the chin was getting hotter. Facing Lin Chongtan's questioning, I could only answer vaguely, "I can't take you back to the palace now, but I will really find a way to make the royal father and the concubine mother feel warmer." Agree with us." An important thing suddenly flashed in my mind, "I have found out where Ms. Chen is, she is in the nunnery outside the city, but it is a bit difficult to see her."

When I mentioned Miss Chen, Lin Chongtan looked serious, and let go of my chin, but put it on my waist again.

"Tansheng, can you do anything?" I asked him.

Lin Chongtan gave me an answer in a short while, "There is the simplest way, send a female guest into the nunnery, find out which room she lives in, and then ask General Song to tie her up."

"Is there any other way? This way is too offensive to Miss Chen, and it doesn't respect the Bodhisattva Buddha. Besides, Song Nan is a foreigner, so how can he go to the nunnery to kidnap people?"

I don't know if it was my delusion or something else, but after I said this, Lin Chongtan's hand on my waist tightened.

"There is another way, that is, Xiaodi disguises himself." Lin Chongtan's eyes fell on my face, and I froze for a moment before realizing what he meant, and sat up straight, "No, how can I disguise myself?" Dressing up as a woman to sneak in? I'm a man, so I can't dress up."

Lin Chongtan curled his lower lip, and his words were suddenly vague, "Who said...Xiaodi always..." He stopped in the middle of speaking, "Then there is only one last way, that is, you pay for the repair of the temples. Nunnery. Since it needs to be repaired, as a noble daughter, Chen's daughter can no longer live in the nunnery. Either the Chen family will take her back, or she will move to a different courtyard in the back mountain of the nunnery. The latter is more likely Big, there are no Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in other courtyards, and it is not a place where outsiders must not enter."

This method seems to work.

Wait, how did Lin Chongtan even know about the other courtyard behind the nunnery?

I recalled that when he went to Beijing with me to study, he read notes on customs and customs along the way.

I glanced at Lin Chongtan's face a few times, and decided to ask my doubts.

He replied a little casually, "So I have seen the map around the capital, so I remembered it."

I still find it weird, "The map doesn't record a nunnery, tell me the truth." I glanced at his hand on my waist, "I don't have it so it's easy to fool me, don't try to hide it from me .”

Under my questioning, Lin Chongtan finally told the truth.

When he was pretending to be Shaobu, he once wanted to smuggle me out of the capital, so he searched all the places near the capital where people could hide and live.

"Then why did you give up later? You sent me back to the capital." In fact, if Lin Chongtan hadn't rescued me from the prince's hands, I don't know where I am now.

Lin Chongtan looked into my eyes and said: "Because I know you care about your mother and concubine, the crown prince threatened you with your mother's concubine's life, so I can only send you back."

I don't know what to say, I can only hug him again.But Lin Chongtan turned the topic back to the previous one, asking me to prove that I care about him.

I thought for a long time but couldn't think of a way to prove it. He stood up in silence for a moment, and walked towards the back room.

The inn where Lin Chongtan stayed was divided into an inner room and an outer room, with a bamboo arch in the middle, and a screen of four gentlemen in flowers made of silk as a screen, elegant and quiet.

Although the screen has a blocking effect, it does not cover the figure. I can vaguely see Lin Chongtan's figure, especially when he is very close to the screen.

Not long after, Lin Chongtan came out from the room, holding the Gu worm box that I was familiar with.He put the worm box in front of me, and said softly: "With this, at least I know where you are, even if you don't have time to see me."

But at this moment, Song Nan's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Master, it's getting late, you should go back to the palace, the imperial concubine will be worried."

Lin Chongtan's finger resting on the table moved a little, then slowly lifted it up to straighten my clothes, "Be careful on the way back, it's snowing heavily outside."

I looked at his expression carefully, "Are you angry?"

Lin Chongtan smiled slightly, his eyebrows and eyes were beautiful and strong, and he was a dignified gentleman when he was serious, "No, you go back, don't let your mother and concubine worry, it's snowing outside, I don't worry about you going back too late. You Don't worry about me, Imperial Physician Qian has prescribed medicine, and I'll take a decoction later and it will be fine."

He was so considerate, which made me very embarrassed, so I forgot the lessons learned from the past, and told Lin Chongtan that I would come to see him again soon, and it turned out that I would come again on New Year's Eve.

According to Lin Chongtan's suggestion, I funded the repair of temples and temples in the capital and its suburbs.Lin Chongtan also guessed correctly, the abbot of the nunnery moved Miss Chen to another courtyard in the back mountain of the nunnery.

Although I offended Ms. Chen's reputation, I still asked Song Nan to pour sweat medicine into the water storage tank in the other courtyard to ensure that they would not wake up in the middle of the night. Then I let Lou Chuan's sister enter Ms. Chen's room and put on clothes for her. Good clothes, feed the antidote.

When I saw Miss Chen, I just asked Niu Xi to follow me in.Compared with a few years ago, Ms. Chen seemed to be in better condition. She didn't scream, or even hid in the bed, but stared at me with wide eyes.

"Miss Chen, I am the Ninth Prince Jiang Congxi." I was afraid of scaring her, so I lowered my voice very softly, "I came to you rashly today because I need your help with something."

Miss Chen didn't wait for me to say anything, her lips trembled violently, "I won't help you."

I pause.

Because Miss Chen seemed to be in a state of madness, her long and pointed nails scratched the bedding, revealing the yellow inner core, "Get out! Get out!"

Shouting and crying.When she cried, her entire face was pale, so pale that she had no blood, her jaw was tense, and her eyes were full of hatred.

I know that my behavior is exposing her wounds, but I need her help to clear Lin Chongtan's innocence. Of course, I will also take care of her reputation, but it's a pity that before I can tell my plan, Ms. Chen jumped out of bed down.

She was originally a beautiful woman, but at this moment, she had a blue face and fangs and rushed towards me.

Before I could dodge in time, Miss Chen scratched my face hard.Niu Xihan clasped her hands together, even so, as if she didn't know the pain, she refused to stop and rushed towards me.

Seeing Ms. Chen like this, I understand that there is nothing to talk about tonight, so I can only leave temporarily, so as not to irritate her further.

On the way back, I repeatedly thought about the scene of meeting Miss Chen.She should be doing well, otherwise the mattress wouldn't turn yellow.I also don't know what happened to Miss Chen in the East Palace. With the prince as a person, it is impossible not to take revenge on her.

Ms. Chen is unwilling to talk to me, so I can only try to write to her first, maybe she is much more comfortable with letters than with me.

Although I intentionally hid the wound on my face, Concubine Zhuang will definitely come to see me every night except for staying overnight with the emperor.She saw the injury on my face at a glance, and walked up to me with a worried look on her face, "Baby, what's wrong with your face?"

I hurriedly covered the wound, "It's nothing, I was just... scratched by a branch."

"Twigs?" Concubine Zhuang took my hand and looked at the wound carefully, her tone suspicious, "Can the branches be so long?"

I was afraid that she would not believe me, so I nodded my head twice, "Yes, it gets dark early this winter, and Erchen didn't see it clearly for a while, so I scratched it, but Erchen is fine."

Concubine Zhuang frowned, "This wound needs to be treated with medicine." She ordered the palace servants behind her to get the medicine, and then said to me, "Don't go out recently, it just so happens that your father asked the household servant to find Haoerlang for a while. If you have a few, please enter the palace together with the New Year's Eve banquet, and you will be in charge of it yourself."

I wanted to refuse, but Concubine Zhuang Gui said that this was the emperor's will, and all orders were given.If I want to refuse, I will go to those Haoerlang's mansions and snatch the imperial decree back.

How can I have this ability, so I can only give up.

On the day when I was scratched in the face, Concubine Zhuang stared at me even more closely, not only at me, but also at Niu Xi.I don't even want Niu Xi to deliver news, anyway, my people don't want to leave the palace casually.

It's New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.

The New Year's Eve banquet is held at the Guanhai Banquet, just like the Enlightenment Banquet in those years. Under the bright lights, each and every jeweled palace attendant orderly prepares dishes and serves wine.It's just that it turned out to be the consort of the princess, but today it has become the male concubine.

Probably because of my requirement of high talent and learning, Guanhai Hall is decorated with extra elegance today, and all the decorations in the hall have been replaced with plum, orchid, and bamboo of the Four Gentlemen of Flowers.There is also a desk in the corner of the hall, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones on it.

Hey, what absurdity.

I'm not interested in this banquet, and I don't even want to glance at the guests from the corner of my eye, but I can't avoid someone coming to toast me.

The first person made me stunned, it was actually Yue Feiguang.

He was obviously different from the last time I saw him, and it took me a long time to realize what was different.

How did he turn white so much in such a short time?

I remember that there was a scar on his face before, why can't the scar be seen?

Yue Feiguang's eyes were burning like fire, but his smile was restrained, "Chen Yue Feiguang pays respects to the Ninth Prince." He toasted me.

I still remember how he bullied me in Taixue. If he hadn't taken the lead, my life would not have been so miserable at that time, so I didn't give him much face, just nodded slightly.

The palace man next to me suddenly handed me a brochure, I didn't know it, so I took it, and after reading the writing and painting on the brochure, I almost lost the brochure.

The brochure records Yue Feiguang's background, experience, etc. in detail, but forget all these, the most exaggerated thing is that there are... size, even the size there.

I suddenly closed the booklet, Yue Feiguang didn't seem to know what was drawn on the booklet, and stared at me blankly.I pursed my lips tightly, and it took me a moment to spit out the words, "Back off."

Maybe it's because of my identity, maybe it's because it's a palace banquet, Yue Feiguang is much more interesting than when he was in Taixue, he left without much entanglement, but I can feel the annoying eyes from him looking over from time to time.

The palace man next to him hesitated to speak, so I simply threw the booklet back into his arms and said in a low voice, "What a mess!"

The palace man was wronged, "Your Majesty ordered it."

"Then I'll ask you to keep it safe and don't pass it to me again." After I finished training the palace servants, a second man appeared in front of me.

Yue Feiguang opened his mouth, and men came over to toast me one after another. Not to mention anything else, these men were all fair-skinned and good-looking.

Seeing the back, I really had no choice but to lie down on the table and pretend to be drunk.

Sure enough, not long after, someone helped me back to Huayang Palace.Concubine Zhuang will not come back tonight, she will stay at the emperor's side.

Back in Huayang Palace, Niu Xi asked the other palace people to retreat, saying that he could serve alone, while I sat up from the couch when the movement subsided, and took the robe that Niu Xi handed over put on.

I'm going to sneak out of the palace to see Lin Chongtan tonight, the Imperial Forest Army guarding the gate of the palace is now under the control of the Fourth Prince, I asked him for help in advance to help me hide the truth.The Fourth Prince obviously wanted to ask who I was going to see, but he held back.

So I left the palace smoothly and headed all the way to the inn where Lin Chongtan was.

Because of New Year's Eve, the inn was locked early, and I knocked on the door for a long time before a sleepy waiter came to open the door.

Lou Chuan and the others are not there, it seems that they have gone home for the New Year.I went up to the second floor and saw the only one with a candle in the dark room.

Lin Chongtan wasn't asleep yet. When I pushed the door open, he was standing at the desk painting, probably because he didn't go out.He only tied the blue silk casually with a hair band, and the clothes on his body were also half-worn Su Luo brocade uniforms.Although there were some snacks and tea on the table, it didn't look like Chinese New Year at all.

When he saw me, he put down his pen, "Why are you here so late?"

I walked towards Lin Chongtan, touched the tea kettle on the table, it was cold.I couldn't help but stop, and called people in, and asked them to change all the tea and snacks.

The earth dragon in the house was not burning enough. Lin Chongtan used his left hand to paint. Just now I saw that his left fingertips were a little white from the cold.When I ordered all this, Lin Chongtan stood beside me and whispered: "Actually, there is no need to be so troublesome. Tonight is New Year's Eve. Why are you here?"

I waited for those people to leave before I said to him: "I...I want to see you, and I also have something to tell you about Ms. Chen."

Just as I was about to tell the whole story about how I met Miss Chen, Lin Chongtan suddenly leaned towards me.He seemed to be sniffing me, and after a few breaths, he frowned slightly, "Just now you came all the way to blow the wind, why don't you take a shower first?"

Did he smell alcohol on me?

In order to pretend to be drunk before leaving the palace banquet, I poured wine on my body, but after I changed my clothes, he also smelled it?

Lin Chongtan euphemistically mentioned it, and I didn't have the nerve to say that I didn't wash it. Fortunately, the waiter in the shop brought hot water up just now, so I don't need to call again.

I stood behind the screen, took off my clothes, and told Lin Chongtan about Miss Chen.I have already written the letter and am going to send it on the second day of the first lunar month.

As I was talking, I cut off my voice.

Because Lin Chongtan suddenly came around from outside the screen, he rolled up his sleeves, picked up the handkerchief with a calm expression, and motioned for me to enter the water.

"You want, you want to wash for me?" I couldn't help stammering.

Lin Chongtan looked very gentle, "Well, you wash it yourself, it's easy to get dirty."

I didn't really want him to wash it for me, "I can wash it clean." When I saw the other person's eyes lowered for a moment, I hesitated again.

Forget it, let him wash it for me.I will go back to the palace soon after washing, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered.

Thinking of this reason, I agreed with Lin Chongtan to help me take a bath.As he bathed me, I inappropriately remembered the first time he bathed me.

At that time, I was locked in a box by the prince for a long time, and he carried me out of the box.I was so weak that I couldn't even take off my pants, let alone take a shower.

It was Lin Chongtan who washed me for me, and that day, he kissed me who was breaking down and crying.

I was so flustered and scared at that time, I couldn't help but slapped him.

Lin Chongtan washed more carefully this time than that time. After a while, I realized something was wrong, and he replaced his left hand with his right hand that took off his glove.

The metal is icy cold, making me shiver.I grabbed Lin Chongtan's hand and wanted to say that I was done bathing, but at this moment he lowered his head and kissed me lightly like a goose feather.

The metal gets hot, I don't know if it's the water, or...

My eyelashes trembled violently, and I struggled to avoid Lin Chongtan's kiss, "Your body, your body is not well yet."

Lin Chongtan stopped, and he looked at me without saying anything.I know what he wants to do, but I'm also doing it for his own good.I privately invited the imperial physicians from the imperial hospital to come over to see him, and everyone gave me the same answer as what the imperial physician Qian said at the time, saying that Lin Chongtan must take good care of his body.

I took the initiative to touch Lin Chongtan's face with my lips in comfort, and then endured the shame and said the following words, "When you recover, we will do that again."

He looked at me quietly, straightened up, "Okay."

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw this, "Go out first, I can dress myself."

"Then can Xiaodi sleep with me for a while tonight?" Lin Chongtan was inexplicably pitiful when he said this.

I had just turned him down, and it didn't seem good to say no again.

"Okay, but you go out and wait for me first."

Lin Chongtan obediently left, I quickly got out of the tub, dried my body, and dressed, thinking that I would accompany Lin Chongtan to lie down for a while, and I would come back to the palace later.

When I stepped out of the screen, Lin Chongtan was already sitting by the bed.I always knew that he had a good-looking skin, a bright neck and a slender body, and when the candlelight fell on him, it was even more shining. I really felt like looking at a beauty under the lamp.

During the palace banquet, I still thought those men were good-looking, but compared with Lin Chongtan at this time, they instantly became fish eyes.Even if those people wear gorgeous clothes and crowns, but Lin Chongtan is just an old dress and a simple hairband, he is still the pearl of the fairy dew.

But I quickly hated myself being bewitched by beauty from time to time.

At first it was just Lin Chongtan asking if he could kiss me, but somehow the situation got out of control and I tried to call it off.But as soon as I parted my lips, he kissed me and swallowed all my unfinished endings.

It seemed to be snowing outside, and I heard the sound of snowflakes falling, some seemed to be falling on the window sill.A new silver charcoal was added to the room, and the ground dragon was heated again, but it was as warm as spring.I was so hot that my temples were sweating finely, and the metal was also hot, so hot that I couldn't speak.

The watchman was walking on the long street, and his shouts drifted into the room.Tonight is New Year's Eve, and there are still people setting off firecrackers and fireworks in the distance.
